The Song Is You (Stan Getz album) explained

The Song Is You is a live album by saxophonist Stan Getz which was released on the Laserlight label in 1996.^{[1] [2] [3]}

Reception

The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos stated "The Song Is You is a missing link between a less than successful teaming with Bill Evans, and the more modern quartet music Getz played thereafter with Corea, Jimmy Rowles, Joanne Brackeen, or Kenny Barron. It's a very worthwhile item to own if you search for it, well recorded and performed by a group that could collectively be the most purely talented of any you might find who ever backed up Stan Getz".
